Help us grow the farm by leading the next phase of our annual garden expansion.

We currently steward a quarter acre of intensively planted annual beds, growing a diverse mix of vegetables and companion plants that nourish both our farm team and the local community. The gardens are located inside a large greenhouse and outdoors within our food forests, creating a vibrant and diverse growing environment. Irrigation is supplied through a gravity-fed system with drip lines, sprinklers, and hoses, and our work is rooted in regenerative practices that build soil health, support biodiversity, and help the whole ecosystem thrive.

The Farm Lead will oversee all aspects of the annual gardens — planning, planting, daily care, and harvest — while working closely with Nomi, our farm manager.

This position is ideal for someone with experience in self-sufficient food production and small-scale market gardening, who is ready to invest their knowledge, motivation, and energy into growing the farm’s capacity and contributing to community food sufficiency.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing and creating new growing areas

• Installing irrigation systems and watering crops

• Vegetable propagation, planting, tending, harvesting, and sales

• Weeding

• Seed saving

• Record keeping

• Organization and maintenance of farm tools, infrastructure, and equipment

Help us grow the farm by leading the expansion of our perennial food forest systems.

We are converting approximately 20 acres of previously logged forest into a mosaic of food forests — planted with fruit and nut trees, berries, perennial vegetables, herbs, pollinator plants, and nutrient accumulators that provide long-term abundance for the farm team and local community. Our approach is grounded in regenerative practices that enhance soil vitality, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience.

The Food Forester will lead the design, installation, and ongoing care of these perennial systems — from mapping and planning new plantings, to species and guild selection, propagation, mulching and soil-building, pruning and training, and monitoring plant and ecosystem health over time. The role also involves coordinating with the annual gardens team so that perennial and annual production support each other in both ecology and yield.

This position is ideal for someone with experience working with perennial plants, who is ready to invest their knowledge, creativity, and energy into cultivating resilient, food-productive ecosystems for community sufficiency.

Responsibilities include:

• Site design and establishment of new growing areas

• Plant propagation and perennial nursery care and sales

• Pruning, mulching, and soil-building

• Installing irrigation systems and watering plants

• Weeding and general maintenance

• Record keeping

• Organization and maintenance of farm tools, infrastructure, and equipment

Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy food and healthy people.

We work primarily with Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web approach to soil building, integrating several complementary practices to make good use of the materials available locally. Compost, compost teas, biochar, vermicompost, mulching, and cover crops are the main techniques in our soil-building toolkit.

The Soil Builder is central to supporting all of the gardens to thrive, and works closely with the rest of the farm team.

This position is suited for someone with an interest in soil biology and a love of mixing ingredients together to create alchemically fertile magic.

Responsibilities include:

• Building and applying actively aerated and static compost piles

• Brewing and applying compost teas

• Feeding and harvesting the vermicompost bins

• Making and applying biochar

• Mulching perennials

• Managing sales of vermicompost, compost teas, and biochar

• Record keeping

• Organization and maintenance of farm tools, infrastructure, and equipment

A resilient farm needs resilient bones — water, power, shelter, and the systems that hold it all together.

We’re an off-grid homestead and farm, drawing power, water, and warmth from the land itself — solar power, a gravity-fed well water system, wood heat, and a growing collection of structures built by hand from materials sourced on and near the property. As the farm and its programs grow, so does the work of building, repairing, and improving the infrastructure that supports it.

The Infrastructure Lead will oversee the maintenance and development of the farm’s physical systems — buildings, water catchment and delivery, energy systems, tools, and equipment — working closely with the rest of the farm team to keep everything running and growing the systems as new needs arise.

This position is ideal for someone with practical building, mechanical, or systems-thinking skills, who’s excited to problem-solve, build things by hand, and help shape the physical foundation an off-grid, regenerative farm is built on.

Responsibilities include:

• Maintenance and repair of buildings, water systems, and energy systems

• Planning and building new infrastructure as the farm and its programs grow

• Maintenance and organization of farm tools, equipment, and the workshop space

• Troubleshooting and problem-solving on- and off-grid systems (solar, water catchment, wood heat)

• Supporting other farm team members with infrastructure needs for their projects

• Record keeping

The forest is the foundation everything else here is built on — and it needs stewards of its own.

Our 80 acres of Coastal Western Hemlock rainforest hold a mosaic of young and mature forest, left behind by selective logging in 2000, threaded with streams and wetlands. As we expand our food forests, infrastructure, and educational programs, the surrounding forest needs ongoing care — to stay healthy, resilient, and able to support everything growing within it.

The Eco-Forester will oversee the stewardship of the farm’s forested land — assessing forest health, planning and carrying out selective harvesting, supporting natural regeneration, and managing the relationship between the working forest and the food systems growing inside and around it. This role works closely with the Food Forester, since the boundary between “forest” and “food forest” here is less a line than a gradient.

This position is ideal for someone with experience in ecological forestry or forest ecology, who’s drawn to long-timescale thinking and wants to help shape a forest that will support generations of growing to come.

Responsibilities include:

• Assessing and monitoring forest health, structure, and species diversity

• Planning and carrying out selective harvesting and forest thinning

• Identifying and milling timber for on-farm building projects

• Supporting natural regeneration and reforestation in disturbed or recovering areas

• Managing trails, fire risk, and forest access

• Coordinating with the Food Forester on the integration of forest and food forest systems

• Record keeping

Food is at the center of our lives, and our kitchen is the center of the farm. A joyful kitchen full of full bellies improves all aspects of Forest Gardens.

We’re looking for a magical human with a passion for cooking, great organization skills, and a flair for experimentation and creativity to help the kitchen thrive.

The Kitchen Conductor will plan and cook several group meals per week, coordinate the rest of the farm team in cooking the remaining group meals, and keep the kitchen area clean, organized, and vibrant.

We serve a primarily vegetarian diet, and usually have several food sensitivities to take into consideration (gluten, dairy, and sugar), so adaptive cooking skills are a must. Wildcrafting, food preservation, and helping in the gardens are additional tasks that can be explored as interest and time permit.

Responsibilities Include:

• Cooking communal lunch on weekdays

• Making and overseeing a rotational kitchen care schedule for breakfast prep & cleanup, lunch prep & cleanup, evening kitchen closing, and weekly deep-clean chores

• Keeping the kitchen space clean and organized — ensuring wash stations are set up, dishes are put away after meals, and leftovers are stored and used in time

• Regular food and supplies inventory and ordering

• Harvesting crops from the garden for kitchen use

• Preserving crops through drying, fermenting, pickling, and canning

• Wildcrafting foods and medicines from the surrounding forest

• Helping design the evolution of the kitchen space, including workflow and the layout of storage and processing areas
